The Miner Helmet is a hard hat built for underground work, worn in the Hat slot. It is protective gear for the head. Its strength is strong defence against zombie bites and scratches on the head.
The cost is a narrower view. The helmet cuts the wearer's vision by a quarter and is a little uncomfortable. It also gives only light warmth and some wind protection.
It is an uncommon find. Tool stores are the best place to look for one. The Tailor is the best occupation for protective gear. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The Miner Helmet stops most attacks on the head. It blocks about 70 percent of bites and about 80 percent of scratches there. That makes it one of the safer hats for close fighting.
It matches the Hard Hat for bite and scratch defence. The Hard Hat blocks a little more wind, at 25 percent against 20 percent. Both give the same light warmth and the same cut to vision and comfort.
In winter a warm hat or hood does more against the cold. Seeing a quarter less far is a real cost when scouting open ground. Many fighters accept that trade for the head protection.
It cannot be worn with hooded jackets, hooded sweaters or full head gear, since those use the head as well.
Tailoring
The Miner Helmet cannot get holes. It never needs patching, and it holds up through fights that would tear cloth hats.
Locations
The Miner Helmet is an uncommon find. Small boxes, counters and storage in tool stores hold one in about one container in twenty. Pawn shop display cases give a small chance. Survivor safehouses, attics, closets and living rooms can turn one up very rarely. A backstage counter can also hold one.
The places where it spawns, with the rough chance per container. Each tab shows one kind of place.
